MLS Preview: New York City FC (4-5-3) at Orlando City SC (4-4-3)

Orlando City SC hasn’t lost any of its last six home matches against New York City FC in all competitions (W1 D5, including two penalty shoot-out wins), having drawn five straight before winning, 2-1, last August. New York City FC’s last win at Orlando City SC was a 2-0 victory in July 2018.

Orlando City SC played to a 2-2 draw with the Columbus Crew SC on Saturday despite having an expected goals value of 1.31 to Columbus’ 3.50. Orlando City SC is unbeaten in league play this season when having a lower xG than its opponent (W2 D3) compared to having four losses in the six games when having a higher xG (W2).

New York City FC is on a four-game losing streak in all competitions with all of those games being on the road. The club’s only longer all-competition losing streak happened between February and July 2020 with five straight losses, the last of which was to Orlando City SC in the MLS is Back group stage.

Duncan McGuire, ho was drafted by Orlando City SC in the 2023 SuperDraft, scored his team-leading fourth goal of the season in the 92nd minute against the Columbus Crew SC to salvage a 2-2 draw. It was McGuire’s second goal as a substitute this season with the Lions having no other goals from players off the bench this year.

Despite completing 544 passes against the New York Red Bulls, New York City FC mustered six shots in the 1-0 loss. It was the second time this year that New York City FC had completed at least that many passes in a match and attempted 6 or fewer shots (5 vs Toronto FC in April), something that has happened only two other times in MLS since 2010.

MLS Preview: Los Angeles Galaxy (2-6-3) at Columbus Crew SC (4-4-3)

This will be the first meeting between the Columbus Crew SC and the Los Angeles Galaxy in over four years, since a 3-1 home win for Columbus in May 2019. The Columbus Crew Are unbeaten in five straight home matches against the Los Angeles Galaxy (W3 D2) as Los Angeles Galaxy’s last win over Columbus Crew SC was a 1-0 victory in September 2011.

The Columbus Crew SC let a 2-0 halftime lead slip away on Saturday in a 2-2 draw with Orlando City SC. It marked the first time the Columbus Crew SC failed to win a home match in which it led by two goals at the half since July 2016, also losing a 2-0 halftime lead in a 2-2 draw against Orlando City SC.

The Los Angeles Galaxy are winless in six straight away matches dating back to last season’s playoffs (D2 L4), failing to score in any of their last four matches on the road. This is the Los Angeles Galaxy’s longest road scoring drought in MLS play (including playoffs) since a run of six straight away games without scoring in 2004-2005.

Cucho Hernandez recorded assists on both of the Columbus Crew SC’s goals on Saturday but failed to hit the target with any of his nine shots, equaling the most attempts by a player without a shot on target in an MLS match since 2010 (C. Dempsey in March 2016, M. Almiron in March 2018).

Dejan Joveljic scored 48 seconds after coming on as a substitute in the Los Angeles Galaxy’s win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Sunday, the fastest a Los Angeles Galaxy substitute has scored after entering in regular season play in club history. Joveljic has scored nine goals as a substitute since the start of last season, three more than any other MLS player.

MLS Preview: CF Montreal Impact (5-6-0) at FC Cincinnati (7-1-3)

The CF Montreal Impact have won three of its last four meetings with FC Cincinnati (D1) after FC Cincinnati won the first three matches between the sides. Each of the last two meetings have ended 4-3 to CF Montreal while no match in league history has featured seven or more has featured seven or more goals in three straight meetings.

FC Cincinnati has won all six of its home matches this season, winning each match by a one-goal margin, the first team in MLS history to record such a streak. Only five teams in MLS history have won their first seven home games of a season, most recently the Philadelphia Union (all 9) in 2020.

The CF Montreal Impact have won six straight matches in all competitions for the first time in the club’s MLS era (since 2012). CF Montreal has scored two goals in each of the six wins after failing to find the net in six of its previous seven games.

Alvaro Barreal has contributed to a goal in each of his last five appearances in all competitions for FC Cincinnati (1 goal, 4 assists), including each of the last three MLS matches. Six of Barreal’s seven goal contributions in all competitions this season have come at TQL Stadium(1 goal, 5 assists).

CF Montreal Impact held Toronto FC to just two shots in its win on Saturday with neither hitting the target. It marked just the second time in club history that CF Montreal held an opponent to two or fewer attempts with none hitting the target, also doing so against New York City FC last July.

MLS Preview: Chicago Fire (3-3-5) at Charlotte FC (4-5-3)

Both Charlotte FC and the Chicago Fire came from behind to record away wins against each other last season. Chicago trailed 1-0 after 25 seconds before coming back to record a 3-2 win at Charlotte FC last August while Charlotte FC overcame a 2-0 deficit to beat the Chicago Fire, 3-2, at Soldier Field last September.

Charlotte FC has won three straight matches in all competitions for the second time in club history after a three-match winning run last September-October. Charlotte FC has also equaled its longest home winning streak in all competitions, having won its last four home matches.

The Chicago Fire have lost only two of their last 11 matches in all competitions (W5 D4), including winning the last two in a row, both over St. Louis City SC. Chicago has won three straight in all competitions just once since the start of the 2018 season, doing so last July.

Justin Meram scored his first two goals for Charlotte FC in its win over Atlanta United FC on Saturday. Meram has scored in each of the last 12 MLS seasons beginning in 2012, the third-longest active streak in MLS behind only C. J. Sapong and Will Bruin (13 straight).

Rafael Czichos came on as a substitute at 34’and scored at 40′ in the Chicago Fire’s victory over St. Louis City SC on Saturday. Czichos is the first player in MLS since Dom Dwyer in February 2022 to score a first-half goal as a sub and the second Fire player to do so in the club’s MLS history after Nate Jaqua in July 2006.

He originally was selected in the first round (11th overall) of the 2020 First-Year Player Draft out of the University of Tennessee.
 
Padilla allowed two earned runs over 2.0 IP in his only appearance with Chicago on May 10 at Kansas City.

The right-hander has posted a 2.12 ERA (4 ER/17.0 IP) with 21 strikeouts in 18 appearances this season. He has not allowed a run in his last six games, beginning April 29. Claimed off waivers by Boston from the Detroit Tigers on February 18, 2021, Schreiber owns a 3.25 ERA (41 ER/113.2 IP) in 111 career outings with the Tigers (2019-20) and Red Sox (2021-23).

The left-hander has posted a 3.65 ERA (5 ER/12.1 IP) in 11 appearances for Boston, most recently allowing one run over 1.1 innings in last night’s game against Seattle. He has recorded a 3.68 ERA (6 ER/14.2 IP) in 13 career appearances with the Mariners (2022) and Red Sox (2023).

The left-hander began the season with Worcester and posted a 3.00 ERA (5 ER/15.0 IP) in 15 appearances. In 44 career Major League games with the St. Louis Cardinals (2017-18) and Tampa Bay Rays (2020-21), Sherriff owns a 3.65 ERA (18 ER/44.1 IP).

Phillies option Falter, recall Uelmen

Prior to tonight’s game against the San Francisco Giants, the Phillies optioned left-handed pitcher Bailey Falter to triple-A Lehigh Valley. To fill his spot on the 26-man roster, right-handed pitcher Erich Uelmen was recalled from Lehigh Valley.

Phillies President of Baseball Operations David Dombrowski made the announcement.

Over eight appearances (7 starts) for the Phillies this season, Falter, 26, has gone 0-7 with a 5.13 ERA (23 ER, 40.1 IP). Falter opened the season in the club’s starting rotation but worked a career-high 4.1 innings in relief last night at San Francisco.

Falter was a fifth-round selection of the Phillies in the 2015 MLB Draft. For his major league career, the Chino Hills, Calif., native has gone 8-12 with a 4.56 ERA in 50 games (24 starts), all for the Phillies (2021-23).

Uelmen, 26, has appeared in seven games with the IronPigs in 2023, where he has gone 1-0 with a 1.04 ERA (1 ER, 8.2 IP), which included six scoreless appearances (6.2 IP) to begin the season. The Las Vegas, Nev., native made his major league debut with the Chicago Cubs in 2022 and went 2-1 with one save and a 4.67 ERA (14 ER, 27.0 IP) over 25 games, all in relief.

Originally selected by the Cubs in the fourth round of the 2017 MLB Draft, Uelmen was acquired by the Phillies in exchange for cash considerations on Jan. 4, 2023.
